Errors populating combo boxes using the PopulationDataSourceSettings/PopulationType properties

Jeff Pagley — Thu, 01 May 2008 13:36:48 GMT

Hi Strataframe Team,

I made some simple changes to some forms and I rebuilt a new exe and redistribute it to the clients machines. The application runs fine on my development machine. But when I try to run it on the client machines it gives me the errors below. From what I can tell through additional testing, the errors are occuring for ALL combo boxes I am populating using the BO with the PopulationDataSourceSettings/PopulationType properties. What is really strange is all of these forms and combo boxes and BOs have been working fine for a long time!?!? Help?

Hi Trent,

As you suggested, I found I was missing an .dll file. As always, excellent support and help. Thanks!:)

This is one of the most common redistribution issues that I see. You do you have the assemblies up to date on the client machine. This can happen due to the following issues:

Old assemblies are still in the GAC or on disk
New assemblies did not get distributed
Permission issues prevents the assemblies from being updated
Multiple versions of the same assembly are in the GAC (i.e. MSIL, x86 builds)

It is going to be something along these lines, so you might start with the above "gotchas" and go from there.
